Buildings to ChangeInstallation

Frankfurter Kunstverein, 2012

The work “Buildings to Change” is dealing with the change of public space, starting from the spatial effects of changed communication techniques. With the advent of the mobile phone, public phone booths loose their significance. The privacy of a closed space for communication is abandoned in favor of a maintenance-free design. In the tentative and fragile-looking objects made from reeds and gypsum the human proportions are clearly inscribed. On the one side is the possibility of retreat, where as on the other side is flexibility and permanent availability. The work‘s title is inspired by the work “Strandhäuser zum Umziehen (Beach Houses to Get Changed)” by Isa Genzken.
